The JYJ members attended a press conference in Taiwan for its Asia tour.

C-JeS Entertainment stated on September 11, “JYJ met with the reporters
prior to the concert in Taiwan to introduce the album. During the press
conference, JYJ shared on visiting Taiwan in three years, stories behind
the Asia tour and the meaning of the new album.”

Park Yoo Chun said, “We released a full length album after three years
and it has been a while since we came to Taiwan but I feel happy. We
supported each other as we carried out the Asia tour and I’ve been
enjoying every single concert. The three of us are so precious to one
another to the point that words like family, friends or brothers are not
good enough.”

Kim Junsu shared, “I feel good every time I visit this city. I recently
let go of ‘Dracula,’ which I spent the past 3-4 months doing and it was
a project that allowed me to learn many things and was a meaningful
time.”

Kim Jae Joong said, “The secret
behind taking care of our bodies for the Asia tour is the three of us.
We prepare happily before we perform on stage. Since Taiwan is the place
that has the best conditions for performances, I am anticipating
tonight’s concert.”

The press conference was attended by reporters from over 50 media
outlets, including MTV, newspapers, entertainment television programs
and more.

Note: This was a lawsuit filed by Jaejoong fans. "Jaejoong
fans united efforts together, collecting the screencaptures and
organizing them, and then sued the most vicious anti-fan
WorldJaejoongZzang (credit: As can be read in the memoirs of a former
Herose admin translated by @jaetaku)"

The monetary penalty ruling on the netizen who slandered the idol group JYJ's member Kim Jaejoong has been finalized.

The
Supreme Court Department 1(Chief Justice Cho Huidae) announced
today(9/11/2014) that it upheld the lower court's original decision of
$1,500 fine for A(25 yrs old) who was charged for breaching the Internet
Usage Promotion Law and the laws related to information
protection(Slander) on August 20th.

The
court explained, "In order to legally punish someone for slander
detailed evidences that show this person damaged a specific person's
social worth or reputation must be presented. Even though one used
value-neutral terms, if it damaged a specific person's social reputation
in terms of generally accepted social norm, it is a slander."

The
court ruled, "The defendant seriously damaged famous entertainer's
reputation in regards to his private life. Therefore, the lower court's
decision is valid."

A
was indicted for posting malicious rumors about Kim Jaejoong and his
family on internet message board from August to September of 2012.

The
two previous court rulings indicated, "The defendant freely interpreted
and further fabricated rumors going around the internet and seriously
distorted the victim's private life causing significant damage to his
social reputation. The defendant's crime is highly malicious." Since A
is deeply regretting her crime, the court finalized the monetary
penalty.

A-Jax’s Jae Hyung revealed that his role model is JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong.

Jae Hyung starred as ‘Louis’ in the web drama Vampire Flower in July, leaving a firm impression on the viewers.

Jae Hyung also revealed that he learned many things by taking his first acting role through Vampire Flower.

Jae Hyung has always dreamed of becoming an actor even before he was chosen to become a trainee.

Jae Hyung said, “I’ve always had the dream to become an actor. Then I
passed the audition at my current agency and debuted as a singer first.
But I’ve been continuously taking acting lessons.”

Jae Hyung named JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong as his role model.

He said, “Kim Jae Joong sunbaenim showed great acting through Triangle. He is an idol but he also acts. In that aspect, he’s my role model. But I’ve always really liked Kim Jae Joong sunbaenim.”

Revealing that he has been receiving scenario offers, Jae Hyung expressed his hope to take on various roles in the future.

Jae Hyung is also a member of the idol group A-Jax. Throughout the
interview, Jae Hyung made it clear that he is a member of A-Jax, showing
his love for the team.

Jae Hyung said, “A-Jax has seven different colors. There is a funny
member, chic member, a member good at singing, etc. Each member has his
unique charm. I want to describe A-Jax as cola. When many colors mix, it
turns into black. A-Jax also has members with different colors. A-Jax
also has refreshing and popping charms, like cola.”

Jae Hyung selected A-Jax’s Insane as his favorite song. He also
expressed his hope to release songs of various genres, including sweet
concept songs and ballads. Jae Hyung also revealed his desire to do a
reality program with the A-Jax members, in order to spread the group’s
charms.

Expanding his activities as an actor, singer, MC and songwriter, Jae Hyung has recently been working on writing songs.

He said, “I’ve been concentrating on writing songs these days. I
prepared myself to write songs as well as to act. I mostly work on
ballads since I like sentimental music but I’ve been working on dance
song recently too. I would like to write songs for A-Jax, if there is a
chance.”

In 2012, he was nominated in the same category for his acting in Dr. Jin. (Read more Here)
Since nominees are chosen from Korean dramas that aired on the three
major broadcasting networks (KBS, MBC and SBS) and cable channels, the
competition is strong, and we are happy to know Jaejoong is receiving
favorable reviews for his acting in “Triangle”, the proof is that the
nominees it’s decided solely by experts judges/critics in the acting
field.

enemy and knowing myself.. Hasty and disrespectful provocations will
only bring demise to yourself. A miscalculated action cannot be taken
back.. You ignited my competitive spirit.. You crossed a line you
shouldn’t have crossed.. Tsk tsk tsk

@zunoxiahmom: What? Preferential
treatment for parents? Are you not our Junsu whose face turns red and

You guys are still far from beating mom and dad~~~ㅋ I’m saying this

There is nothing wrong in what our ancestors said.. Ah I’m lonely.. In
the end, nobody is more noble than me.. Stay strong Kim Junsu. Have

Park Yoochun, Kim Jaejoong and Kim Junsu Enjoy Popularity In Japan

The members of the leading k-pop trio JYJ worked hard during the last
year to develop successful careers of their own. And that hard work
helped them succeed independently and around the world. But the singers
are especially popular in Japan, where their concert performances sell
out and their music and dramas quickly climb to the top of the charts.

When the trio released "Just Us," in July 2014,
it had been three years since they made an album together. That album
now ranks #1 on Tower Records' music charts in Japan. The same album
also reached the second place in the Japanese music chart Oricon.When the album was released in Korea, it sold 17,000 copies in the
first week. But its success in Japan may be considered a more
remarkable accomplishment since JYJ's record label, C-JeS, did not even
promote the album there.

Ilgan Sports recently reported that JYJ's agency is inundated with
calls about the band's current Asian tour, titled The Return of the
Kings."We receive a lot of requests from the Japanese fans to perform in
their cities and we will try to do our best to confirm these
performances," a C-JeS representative recently told Soompi.The Return of the Kings tour, which visits Thailand, China and Vietnam, runs through Sept. 27.Each of the band's members has a devoted following.

This year Kim Jaejoong is especially popular in Japan impressed
critics with his performance as Heo Young Dal, the foolish gambler
turned confident gambling executive in "Triangle." Not only did 2,000
fans turn up for his recent Japanese fan meet to promote "Triangle," but
his face also appears on a special commemorative stamp in Japan.

Park Yoochun added another top-notch performance to his acting resume
this year when he played a special agent in the political action
thriller "Three Days." When Park Yoochun traveled to Japan a few months
ago to promote his previous drama "Missing You," 1,000 fans waited for
him at the airport. That drama ranked No. 1 in the pre-order chart. His
film "Sea Fog," will also be shown in Japan.

When Kim Junsu had solo concerts in Tokyo and Osaka, 63,000 fans
attended. He started his solo career in 2010 by releasing the single
"Xiah" in Japan. It reached the #2 spot on the Oricon singles chart. In
2013 he released the solo album "Incredible." Which also reached #1 in
the Oricon charts. In the last two years Junsu appeared in the musicals
"Elizabeth," "December" and "Dracula." Junsu is so popular in Japan that
his Japanese fans travel to Korea to see his musicals.
